Chapter 407: The Return of the Old Man 3

The banner finally appeared in front of him, Lin Ruo wrenched his hands and muttered excitedly: "Here, Your Majesty, they are here!" ”

Such recklessness should have been the crime of dereliction in front of the king, but this heartfelt excitement with a bit of coquettishness was quite infectious, and even the hearts of Emperor Mingzong, the crown prince and others were also excited.

Even if there are a few sour and rotten Confucians who are obsessed with etiquette and feel that Princess Rong is out of honor in front of the monarch, they don't dare to pour cold water on the emperor at this time - it spoils the emperor's interest and lowers the morale of the Tiger Ben Army's triumph, do you want to have your head?

Lin Ruo looked intently in the direction of the banner, and recognized Murong Chong at a glance, and in an instant, it seemed that only the person wearing the dark armor was shining and riding a horse.

Subconsciously, Lin Ruo tightly grasped the hand of the grass holding her, and her knuckles turned white with so much force. Youcao's soft snort made her come back to her senses, and she hurriedly let go of her hand, looking at the red marks on Youcao's hand, and her face was guilty.

Youcao smiled: "Miss, I've never seen you so nervous, hehe......"

Lin Ruo glanced at her with disgust, and his eyes stared at Murong Chong for a moment.

That kind of emotional flow like a tide, sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm like a mirror, not only the moment Lin Ruo saw Murong Chong, but also when Murong Chong saw Lin Ruo, who was standing beside Emperor Mingzong.

Ah Ruo, Ah Ruo is here too!

Follow the emperor, the crown prince and the Manchu civil and military to the suburbs of Bian'an to work on the outskirts of Bian'an!

Murong Chong couldn't help but straighten his back on the horse's back, holding the sword in one hand and the reins in the other. Both hands were subconsciously clenched, but because the reins were not as thick as the hilt of the sword, the hand holding the reins was clenched tightly into a fist, and the fingertips dug into the palms, leaving a crescent-shaped red mark.

It turns out that the longing is so heavy, so uncontrollable!

Murong Chong felt the pounding heart in his chest, felt the dry throat, and wanted to beat the horse and gallop.

But he couldn't.

It's just that the thunder under his crotch gradually became faster because he subconsciously clamped his legs.

As soon as the coach was fast, the speed of the Tiger Ben Army naturally increased. No one complained, and at this time, everyone's hearts were probably the same four words: return to the heart like an arrow.

The Tiger Ben army was placed half a mile away, and the Eighth Prince, Murong Chong, He Yan and others dismounted one after another, stepped forward, and saluted the emperor. Lin Ruo's gaze remained glued to Murong Chong's body, not moving for a moment.

Although Murong Chong hung his head, he seemed to feel Lin Ruo's gaze in his heart, and his starry eyes, which had always carried the sharp and cold front that no one should enter, were dyed with a shallow smile.

"The ministers are fortunate to live up to their mission and conquer five places such as Youzhou, Suizhou, and Danzhou...... Daiguo is willing to return the Danzhou gold mine to our dynasty, pay tribute to make amends, and send the prince of Daiguo to Bian'an to study, and arrive in ...... three days In addition, a letter of national writing on behalf of the monarch was submitted to the emperor for the emperor to see! ”

Cutting the land, paying tribute, sending protons.

These are all manifestations of the submission of the country to Donglu.

The poor prince of Daiguo is only six years old, but he wants to start a humiliating proton career, which is really pitiful.

This era is so cruel, the iron cavalry that is attached to Beiqi to maintain a fragile balance between Donglu and Zeguo, is completely vulnerable after losing Beiqi, a greedy but barely able to use each other.

Of course, if Yu Chongqing and the Daiguo Imperial Court had not listened to Tang Xiao's instigation and risked assassinating Murong Chong, they would not have had to sacrifice such a big price - Donglu originally aimed at demonstrating on the border of Beiqi, Jinkuang and Chen Bing, and cutting land, paying tribute and sending protons were all punishments for their assassination of Murong Chong.

The old eunuch Chen Guan bowed his waist, took the letter of state presented by Murong Chong's hands, and respectfully handed it over to Emperor Mingzong.

The humble and sincere words on the national letter pleased Emperor Mingzong, and when Longxin was happy, he naturally praised Murong Chong, He Yan, the Eight Princes and the soldiers of the Tiger Army, and promised to reward meritorious deeds.

"Ministers, thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Murong Chong took the lead in prostrating on the ground and prostrating, shouting long live, and the Eighth Prince and He Yi fell to the ground together to echo. The soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army knelt on the ground with brushes, and the mountain shouted long live, thanking the emperor for his grace.

The magnificent momentum frightened some of the Wenchen's legs, but it also inexplicably raised a sense of pride.

Even Gu Ting's waist straightened a little inexplicably - Gu Yannian's performance in the army was extremely good, even if it was because of Lin Ruo, Murong Chong did not deliberately make things difficult, and He Yan was a straight intestine, according to the news of King Ye and the Ministry of War, with Gu Yannian's military merits, it was inevitable to rise.

It's his own son, and no matter how elbow he is facing Lin Ruo, he won't ignore the Gu family.

In addition, Gu Manni and Song Huanchu's marriage is approaching, and Shangshu Gufu, who has been despised and disgusted for nearly ten years, has finally begun to show signs of prosperity again, how can he not like it in his heart?

And Shen Di, who is also the official title of Shangshu and is in charge of the household department, and Gu Ting's joy can't help but be the opposite.

During this period of time, it can be said that he has carried it to the extreme, first because of the unfavorable raising of grain and grass due to the flood in Shangyu, he was reprimanded and punished by the emperor; Later, because her daughter Shen Wanyi was suspected of accidentally injuring the crown princess, she was alienated from the prince; and then the youngest son Shen Rang intended to marry Zhennanhou's daughter Qu Xiaoxiang, but was publicly revealed by Su Muyu, the son of the Marquis of Jingping, to be an addict who smoked A Furong; Recently, he finally regained the prince's trust in the Shen family, but he killed Zhang Xu, the prefect of Shangyu, and became the prince's most trusted think tank...... None of them went well!

Even today, the emperor proposed to reward the Tiger Ben Army and the Northern Army for meritorious deeds, how could he raise a large amount of food and salary rewards from the not very rich treasury, which was enough for his headache!

The government and the opposition all know that being on duty in the household department is definitely a rare fat difference! However, last year, this year was not peaceful, the expenditure on disaster relief and military salaries was much higher than in previous years, and the emperor exempted the Lin family from business taxes for one year in order to commend the Lin family!

Originally, the Lin family's one-year business tax was not outstanding compared to the one-year tax revenue of the national treasury, and the bad thing was the Lin family's huge Oiran election last year! Annexed most of the grain lords in Gyeonggi Province, Sannam-do, Huainam-do, and Gangnam-do!

In cooperation with Emperor Mingzong's decree of tax exemption, the commercial tax collected by the household department in a year is said to belong to the Lin family, but in fact, the commercial tax that should have been paid by most of the grain lords in Gyeonggi Province, Shannan Province, Huainan Province, and Jiangnan Province has been exempted! Taxes on salt and iron and grain, that is an important source of the treasury! This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the finances of the household department!

Of course, Shen Di will also complain about the officials who make oil and water in the household, but this is already an unwritten rule, after all, he has made a lot of money himself. If you don't have the strength to see and continue to stretch out your hand regardless of the situation, that's a trivial matter, but the Lin family! Especially Princess Rong Lin Ruo!
